Okay, they were there for a good cause, so I can't really knock them for going into the "Lion's Den". It must have been hard for them. They had to have known that those "good ole boyz" weren't going to exactly roll out the welcome wagon for them.

That NASCAR crowd is always tough on certain folks.

Speaking of being tough on certain folks; there is no one tougher on those same certain folks than one Mr. Clarence Thomas.

Well now, as luck would have it, old Clarence has some problems of his own:

"WASHINGTON -- Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.) is turning up the heat on Justice Clarence Thomas based on new information that builds upon previous reports of his alleged ethical lapses.

On Friday, Slaughter submitted a new letter, this time addressed to Chief Justice John Roberts in his capacity as the presiding officer of the Judicial Conference, to update and clarify the September letter.

At issue is the fact that Thomas repeatedly checked a box titled "none" on annual financial disclosure forms in response to a question about the sources of spousal income. Yet during those years, his wife, Virginia Thomas, worked for the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation and for the Tea Party lobbying group Liberty Central, which she helped found.

The first letter asserted that Thomas' nondisclosures persisted "[t]hroughout his entire tenure of the Supreme Court," which began in 1991. It was fair to infer from his "high level of legal training and experience," Slaughter wrote, that the justice's failure presented the type of "willful" behavior that federal law requires the Judicial Conference to refer to the Department of Justice for investigation. Friday's letter, however, states that Thomas actually did report the sources of his wife's income until 1997, therefore heightening the inference that the justice had not "misunderstood the reporting instructions," as he asserted in January when he filed seven pages of addenda correcting his omissions over a six-year period."

The irony of investigating Clarence is he'll hide behind racism to retain his seat on the Court.

Slaughter better be careful though as investigating Clarence Thomas is what got the wingnuts digging through Anthony Weiner's trash. Hope she's clean as a newborn because they will go hard to protect him.

Val said... Can you imagine the fallout had 100,000 African Americans booed former First Lady Laura Bush?

Btw, so far Vince Young is looking pretty good, surprisingly. Should Michael be worried?

Or someone went on TV and accused the president of not liking black people...the nerve. Who really likes the Mooch? No one, have you seen Obamao in his funny cowboy hat? Looks like a chimp dressing up to be a human.

Knock yourself out watching those cars go round and round. You might even get some snuff in the stands while you anxiously await your first crash.

Snuff? Is that like rap talk for something or do you actually mean snuff? People still do that stuff? I heard of them chewin tabaccy but snortin snuff I thought that died with John Adams.

Well, I dont know, let me see tickets to a Nicki Minaj Concert So I can learn if she had a dick she would whip it out and piss on dem niggas or Nascar...hmmmm...which one do you think takes more skill? Men have always built bigger and better faster machines that have brought us out of the dark ages, than again we always need someone to see to remind us how not to regress into previous evolutionary stages....hmmm what a tough choice.

Gearheads are huge Tbaggers. In fact, make a Venn diagram of the 2 groups and all you'll get is a few few fuzzy edges for rich powerful folks like the Thomas's and Kochs who sell cultural panic to rest of them at shopping club prices. BTW;you know how you spell untouchable don't you? S-u-p-r-e-m-e C-o-u-r-t J-u-s-t-i-c-e. The republiklan's already proven that that they'll wreak the country just for shits n grins; just try getting rid of one of their supremes; they'll burn this thing like it was out-dated and insured.

Nothing will come of the Thomas Crown affair. Personally I think he should be impeached for letting his wife drunk dial Anita Hill and wear that damned Statue of Liberty crown. Now that's some embarrassing shit. My man could learn a thing or two from Ike Turner.

"Knock yourself out watching those cars go round and round. You might even get some snuff in the stands while you anxiously await your first crash."

I'm not sure what snuff is but you can buy plenty of meth at a NASCAR event. They love their meth in NASCAR country there's TWO television shows about it. Haven't you seen Sons of Anarchy and Breaking Bad?

Interesting none of the good people who post here about crime have ever said anything about not being able to go straight to the shelf and pick up their Sudafed...strange.

NASCAR, above all, is a multi-million dollar moneymaking enterprise. If Mike Helton and the men and women behind the scenes think this will make them look bad and subsequently put a dent in the company's profit margins, they'll sack up, issue a public apology, and take quiet steps to make sure this doesn't happen again.

Has there ever been an instance where corruption actually forced a sitting Supreme Court justice from his seat? I doubt it. And I doubt Clarence will be going anywhere anytime soon.

Night all...

Maybe they aren't as well an informed about substance abuse as you seem to be? In some cases ignorance denotes intelligence. In example, I have no clue how feces tastes and no desire to learn, so if I need an opinion, I will be sure to look down to you.

Didn't realize that. So were there many gay events you attended with gearheads that had big balls and teabagged you? Did you have to search for these events or did they come easy to a DWL like yourself? Do you really enjoy being t-bagged and have you always been a gay white liberal or was this an de-evolutionary process?

What do you think of our completely democratic socialist Occupy Friends? I know they are a bit dirty and unkempt with numerous diseases, but would you like to attend an OWS rally and be tagbagged at one of these as well? From what I read it should be a lot safer to ask somoene at a OWS rally to teabag you than it would be for you to ask a Nascar fan.

Talk about single digit IQ's and not being well informed.

The attacks on Clarence Thomas is warning to all negros who dare step off the Democrat party plantation.

how disgusting liberals like to think they open minded and here u guys r talkin shit about people cuz of the sport they like to watch? y'all are some ignint niggas wut ude rather do watch wheel of fortune where other peple win money that ur black asses wisht u had>? phukkin pathetic u guys r a bunch of banana peelin redneck racists jess like ur nascar buddies u deserve each other dummies!

A relative of mine went to a Nascar event while vacationing in the US last year. She told me they were openly selling 'NO N*****S IN NASCAR' T-Shirts at the event.

Try Googling the topic, moron.

It's possible there were a total of ONE such t-shirt sold.

Meanwhile, even a nitwit as dumb as you should know that NASCAR was not selling the shirts.

Furthermore, all along 125th St in Harlem there are black guys on the sidewalk selling books.

Many of the books are vicious attacks on whites. Some claim whites cause cancer among blacks. And many make the same bizarre political and economic claims about whites made by Louis Farrakhan in his Nation of Islam publications.

If you want to know about black atittudes, you should read Message to the Black Man by Minister Elijah Muhammad of the Nation of Islam.

Dutch-born Seattle Mariners outfielder Greg Halman was stabbed to death in his homeland early Monday and his brother has been arrested in connection with the killing.

Details were not immediately clear, but the stabbing occurred in Rotterdam.

"A 24-year-old died this morning in a stabbing and we have arrested the 22-year-old brother of the victim," a Rotterdam police spokesman told Reuters.

The 24-year-old outfielder was born in Haarlem, Netherlands.

He was a graduate of Mendel College, in Holland, and spoke four languages. Halman's father and brother played on the Dutch national baseball team, and his sister, Naomi Halman, is a professional basketball player in Europe.

The 6-foot-4, 200-pond Halman was seen as a power-hitting prospect, especially after hitting 33 home runs in 2010 at the team's Triple A team in Tacoma.

However, astronomical strikeout totals tempered expectations. Last season, Halman was called up as a backup outfielder late in the year and batted .230 with two home runs and six RBI.

No Slapzz - your stupidity is only matched by your personal arrogance. No wonder you spend all day every day on the web abusing black people - I can't imagine that employers are queuing up for your services.

In what way would "Googling the topic" help me exactly? What would I learn?

There was a good deal more than one of the t-shirts sold, they appeared to be doing very good trade.

Nowhere in my post did I suggest that the Nascar organization were selling the shirts. Nevertheless the shirts were being sold openly at the event from a stall without hinderance or objection from anybody. THAT's the point.

Regarding the books on 125th - how is this in any way relevant to this topic?

What exactly is your point?

Are you saying that because some guys allegedly sell racist books on 125th it is therefor perfectly acceptable to sell racist T-Shirts at Nascar events?

Please explain.

Most people get smarter with time, No Slapzzzzz.

With you the reverse process appears to be happening. The more you are here, the more bollocks you talk.

Regarding the books on 125th - how is this in any way relevant to this topic?

What exactly is your point?

The volume of anti-white publications sold on 125th Street, and in Harlem's One and Only Bookstore -- the Hue-Man Bookstore -- and by the Nation of Islam, by mail-order and by the street hustlers working for Louis Farrakhan, make the sales of a few NASCAR t-shirts pale in comparison.

How are things going in Haiti? How about sub-Sahara Africa? Any bright spots?

Despite its enormous oil wealth, Nigeria is still unable to provide electricity and indoor plumbing to half its citizens.

Worse still, Nigeria is well over half Islamic. The slide toward Islam ensures permanent economic mayhem for the fools in that sewer nation.

Are you saying that because some guys allegedly sell racist books on 125th it is therefor perfectly acceptable to sell racist T-Shirts at Nascar events?

No, bonehead.

I'm saying a lot of black guys earn their livelihood selling anti-white rubbish on 125th st and elsewhere and that like the murder rate, these racist activities occur among blacks at 10 times the rate they accur among whites.

Moreover, you can buy all the anti-white books you want from Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam online.

But if you Google the NASCAR t-shirt you get one hit that shows a photo of some ding-dong modeling one, but no links to a site where you can buy one.

"The volume of anti-white publications sold on 125th Street, and in Harlem's One and Only Bookstore -- the Hue-Man Bookstore -- and by the Nation of Islam, by mail-order and by the street hustlers working for Louis Farrakhan, make the sales of a few NASCAR t-shirts pale in comparison."

How do you know?

Do you have the relevant sales figures for Farrakhan books and racist T-Shirts available for us?

"I'm saying a lot of black guys earn their livelihood selling anti-white rubbish on 125th st and elsewhere and that like the murder rate, these racist activities occur among blacks at 10 times the rate they accur among whites."

Really? Do you have any statistical evidence to back up this startling claim?

Whereas, the occasional white nitwit sells a couple of anti-black t-shirts. The white nitwit may dream that printing anti-black t-shirts will be his ticket to wealth. Then he tries to sell the shirts and fails, because there's no buyers. No market.

BrookLyn said... No mention of Herman Cain in three posts. I guess the new instructions have come through.

Can't wait to read the reasons we should support Newt lol.

Have a great day FNs!

Yeah you guys gave up on the hit jobs once he wasn't the poll leader....next..... Save time, don't support Newt because he believes in people working and is white.

why don't you talk about how democrats are urging Obama not to run in order to save the democratic party for revival once again after it immolates itself by revealing the core beliefs, as has been done countless times in this countries history? I think it went from liberal to progressive, back to liberal, back to progressive and now openly embraces socialisM/marxisM/communisM. What will the new name be after a resounding defeat in 2012..the peoples party of the USSA? Or the Eu and English Welfare failure didnt teach us anything party?

It doesn't take a genius to know that the First Lady should not have attended NASCAR, the biggest white racist sports event in America. Even though her intentions might have been good, nothing good comes from attending such an event when you are Black. It's mass "color arousal" that could become quite dangerous for her. For the life of me, I can't understand why she would jeopardize her life at a NASCAR event. It was a waste of time.

CT is a Supreme Court Judge who happens to be Black. Absolutely "Nothing" will come of the accusations against him.

White, middle-age Marine and Nascar fan who was disgusted by that. Then when I search the web to see whether Nascar had made any comment condemning it, I see the web ablaze with right wing blogs calling the First Lady unspeakable names and comparing booing Palin, a politician, to booing Michelle. I never once heard Laura Bush booed, not once. I'm so proud to be an American right now, you have no idea.

Sure, it has nothing to do with her husband being the absolute worst president this nation has seen and literally destroying the economy while telling americans it is all thier fault (it's the black in him) They don't like Obama and they like a mooch like his wife who wears a 400 designer shirt to a sporting event even less. You are a DWL - the most disgusting type of person on the planet.

When you put a man in charge who lives by race and breaks the law of the land at every opportunity to get what he is "entitled to" done even against the will of the majority of the country and than liberals like you support him because you want to prove to the bell curve personas that you aren't racist. Who should be hanging your head in shame- Marine B.bb.b.b.b.b.b.bullshit.

You're right Slappy, I don't get it. I suspect that's because as usual with your alleged arguments, there isn't anything to get.

You still haven't explained how your people in bow-ties selling books and pamphlets you haven't read (but don't approve of) is relevant to open racism at Nascar.

What exactly is the logic behind your argument here?

Is there any?

Because of B, we should ignore A.

Because of B, A is not applicable.

Because of B, we shouldn't even discuss A.

Because B is bigger than A, A doesn't count.

Which is it?

You far-right types do this sort of shit all the time. It's instead of a rationality.

First time I agree with you. So I gather you will no longer be using those scattered historical events to justify black underachievements, violence and overall depravity any longer now that you have found logic?

Great to see you escape the ever illogical clutches of the left/socialist/marxist/democratic take care of us party.

Ciao

By the way, even Spain has now rejected Socialism with the recent elections. I guess people have woken up that the eternal welfare state just doesn't work. There is hope for mankind afterall.

"Watching the video of this answer almost made me feel sorry for Cain until I remembered that he’s not a hungover frat boy getting picked on by a professor at an 8am history class but is, in fact, a grown man running for president of the United States. Holy Mother of God."

It's not worth getting into it with a guy whose made it his life's work to troll black American-oriented blogs. He's beyond help.

A Native amerikkkan would tear your fucking head off just as soon as you even think of fixing your lips to say that shit.

You whites feel real gangsta and tough hiding behind a keyboard or in large groups (with guns)

I wish I was alive during slavery . I would've killed as many of you pasty ass mother fuckers as i could possibly get away with. I probably would've gotten killed, but I would've went down with a worse M.O. than Nat Turner.

Field, you sure do bring out the best the 'net has to offer. I heard Rushy said the reason they booed the First Lady is because she's uppity. Isn't that code for the N word? To those people the only thing worse than a N is an uppity N.

NASCAR events attract large tailgating & RV scenes. Thousands of people stay for the entire weekend. You probably find all kinds of unauthorized racist & vulgar merchandise sold at those outside the track.

"Real talk: Daniel Rubin has a great little piece up wherein he chats with The Field Negro, the Philly-based blogger who sharply ponders all things black on a daily basis. (Seriously, if you’ve never checked in with TFN, you should: Its author, Wayne Bennett, is a fantastic read who can cut through bullshit like a hot knife through butter, which is a far grosser analogy than I wanted to make, but there you have it.)" ~Philebrity~

"One of the most precocious and hilarious Black political minds on the net. Ive been a long-time fan!" ~Asad Malik~

"..While most of what he writes is tongue-in-cheek, his space is a safe house for candid discussions about race, especially in the comments section, where people of all colors meet."~~Daniel Rubin, "The Philadelphia Inquirer"~~

"To white people, Bennett's musings are like kitchen-table talk from a kitchen they may otherwise never set foot in. To African Americans, he is part of a growing army of black Internet amateurs who have taken up the work once reserved for ministers and professional activists: the work of setting a black agenda, shaping black opinion and calling attention to the state of the nation's racial affairs."

~~Richard Fausset, "L.A. Times"~~~

"That's why I love the blog "Field Negro" so much. Field, as he's known to his fans, has the sense of reality that it takes to call out the (CowPuckey) of blame beating by those who are in positions of power and their lackeys. Because of his handle and his unabashed way of writing about racial issues, Field is often cited as a "Black blogger." What he is, however, is a first-class detector of blame deflection and an excellent student of history. If you want to write about the past and future of repression there's really no other perspective to take - which is why everyone should read Field."

"Half a century after Little Rock, the Montgomery bus boycott and the tumultuous dawn of the modern civil rights era, the new face of the movement is Facebook, MySpace and some 150 black blogs united in an Internet alliance they call theAfroSpear.

Older, familiar leaders such as Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rev. Al Sharpton and NAACP Chairman Julian Bond, are under challenge by a younger generation of bloggers known by such provocative screen names as Field Negro, thefreeslaveand African American Political Pundit. And many of the newest struggles are being waged online."~Howard Witt-The Chicago Tribune~

"I had no idea, for example, of the extent of the African-American blogging world out there and its collective powers of dissemination.But now, after reading thousands of anguished, thoughtful comments posted on these blogs reflecting on issues of persistent racial discrimination in the nation's schools and courtrooms, what's clear to me is that there's a new, "virtual" civil rights movement out there on the Internet that can reach more people in a few hours than all the protest marches, sit-ins and boycotts of the 1950s and 60s put together." ~Chicago Tribune Reporter, Howard Witt~
